Today my LinkedIn feed, my inbox and my text messages are filled with stories of foresters and urban foresters who’s projects were just cancelled or who’s jobs are on the line because of decisions made at the federal level. There’s a lot of fear, anxiety and even anger in our industry right now. When I attended the Urban and Community Forestry Society’s Municipal Forestry institute in 2024 they talked about how to face obstacles in our careers. What do you do when you face a closed door? How do you shift your own thinking from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset? If your project just evaporated into thin air, what resources, partnerships and opportunities are still available? Who may be willing to partner with you? Who did you assume wouldn’t, but never actually asked? You may have to be willing to move yourself in a different direction. None of this is meant to be trite. The pain of loosing a job is real. Having your project fall apart is devastating. Grieve well, but don’t be paralyzed with anger or fear. We will find a way to move forward and serve our communities. The greatest resource in our industry isn’t a federal grant. It’s passionate people who want to serve their communities. If you are a forester or urban forester who just lost their job. Keep your chin up. Reach out to your peers for support. We’re all rooting for you.
Sneak peak from the March/April City TREES. Look at how many people attended the LGBTree networking event, hosted by UCFS Members during the PCF Conference. The whole room was packed/it was the place to be! ?? ?? ?? LGBTree is an affinity group of UCFS. Get connected through this link: https://lnkd.in/ey6w5bdQ
